No.18 Direct

Until the more recent Government changes, it was always necessary for work to be referred to a barrister through a solicitor. It is now possible for certain organisations, companies, firms or members of the public to come directly to a barrister for specialist advice and/or representation on a range of personal or business matters; where the investigation and management of the case can be conducted without a solicitor.

Mini Pupils

No 18 welcomes applications for mini-pupillage. We offer mini pupillages all year round. During your mini pupillage you can expect to attend court with one of our barristers, meet our tenants and current pupils.

Please note the following:

Only those who have commenced or already completed a full time Higher or Further Education course are eligible to apply. Both those undertaking a Law and a non-Law degree are encouraged to apply. Chambers considers that those in either their final year of a Law degree or on the Law Conversion course are best placed to benefit fully from a mini-pupillage.

Unfortunately Chambers does not offer any work experience scheme or mini-pupillages for children currently at secondary school.

Our criteria for selecting mini-pupils is the same as for selecting pupils, namely academic achievements, non-academic achievements and evidence of motivation and initiative.

No 18 is committed to equal opportunities.

Please note that mini-pupillages at No 18 are not formally assessed.

How to apply

Applications should be made by way of a covering letter and CV to Head of Mini Pupillage, James Vatcher.
